Reader's Love for the Protagonist Chapter 7

Reader: This guy is not a ghost...he is so handsome that it’s unscientific!

The skeleton was holding the limp black-haired young man, with his soft black hair falling between his pale finger bones.

Suddenly, a voice sounded above their heads: "Meow?"

The strong sense of being watched made Nathan reflexively raise his head. He instinctively held Ethan Du in his arms and covered him with a black robe. Then he saw the creature.

Is that a... cat? It was completely black, with one eye golden and one blue. Nathan's attention was immediately drawn to the tail behind it. Although the creature in front of him looked like a cat, it had nine tails. The nine-tailed monster was squatting on the broken statue, tilting its head to watch the skeleton's almost protective behavior. Seeing Nathan looking up at it, the monster twitched its ears, and its round eyes were full of joy and love.

"Meow~"

Nathan stared at the demon beast warily. At this time, the last bit of light element was expelled from his forehead and limbs. The thick death energy began to boil. It absorbed and assimilated the soul it had just swallowed, becoming more and more viscous and surging. The black death energy wrapped around Nathan and delicately covered the pale bones. It began to weave flesh and blood, weave organs, and plump up the entire skeleton bit by bit. In the end, the overwhelming death energy dissipated without a trace. The abandoned temple once again returned to its former silence, with only a demon beast and a black-robed lich holding a sacrifice facing each other silently.

Nathan pushed back his long black curly hair, revealing a pair of dark and deep eyes, with a faint blue light flashing in the depths of his pupils. His expression was very gloomy, and the pale skin unique to the undead added a hint of morbidity to him, but it still did not detract from his handsomeness. This lich looked no different from a human, like a decadent nobleman who walked out of an oil painting in ancient times. However, when Nathan stretched out his right hand to push his hair back, his right hand, which was still made of bones, revealed his undead nature.

The last swallowing was interrupted by the monster, and the souls swallowed were not enough to restore the whole body. His right arm was still bone. Nathan wrapped Ethan Du tighter. As long as he drove away the monster and swallowed the rest, he would be able to recover completely.

Nathan grabbed the huge Grim Reaper's sickle and drew an arc in the air. A crescent-shaped dark light rushed straight towards the monster. The cat-like monster nimbly avoided the dark light, jumped down from the throne, and landed lightly in front of Nathan. Its eyes were sparkling, and it looked at Nathan expectantly as if it wanted to "play" with Nathan again.

"Meow~"

The dark light silently broke the last bit of the abandoned temple's ceiling, revealing the inky sky. At this moment, the purple and yellow moons just climbed up directly above, and the light-colored light shone directly down from the hole, enveloping the statue and the lich underneath it, like some kind of pilgrimage.

The monster's ears twitched, and suddenly its eyes widened. It glanced at the black-robed lich opposite it with great reluctance, and then ran away again with a whimper. Nathan did not look at the monster's actions. He sensed the fluctuation of the soul almost at the moment when the moonlight shone down - in his arms.

Nathan lowered his head, spread out his black robe, and once again met those pure black eyes. This time, he saw a human figure with pale skin and black hair in those eyes that were black without a trace of impurities.

He was still a horrible, evil, and hideous undead, now clothed in human skin.

The lich thought so, and then heard the owner of those eyes say: "Let me go."

Nathan first tightened his grip on Ethan Du's hand, then slowly loosened it. He looked at Ethan Du gloomily as he left his arms, his right hand still holding the Grim Reaper's sickle, ready to make a move.

Ethan Du fumbled for his glasses and put them on. When he saw the protagonist sitting opposite him, a die-hard fan of "Mixed Blood" froze.

This guy is not a ghost. This guy is not a ghost. This guy is not a ghost... Emma,   he really is a ghost. Oh my god! He is so handsome!

In the setting of "Mixed Blood", the undead race is divided into bone system, ghost system, and corpse system. The representative of the bone system is the skeleton, the main body of the ghost system is the formless dead soul, and the corpse system is the moving corpse. The strongest lich of the undead race belongs to the corpse system. Although the corpse system is relatively closer to the human form, it is also relative! Even if it is a fresh corpse, it still cannot change the fact that it is already a corpse! The undead race is just lifeless inorganic matter! So why does an inorganic matter look more vivid and eye-catching than an organic matter? It's unscientific!

What about the sunken eye sockets of the lich? ---Although the protagonist's eye sockets are indeed deep, that is the deep eye shape that is unique to Westerners, okay!

What about the pale skin of the lich? ---Although the protagonist's skin is indeed unhealthy white, it is directly interpreted by the protagonist as morbid beauty!

What about the gloomy and unpleasant personality of the lich? ---Although the protagonist's expression is indeed gloomy, the protagonist's extraordinary appearance turns that gloom into melancholy!

At this moment, Ethan Du deeply realized how jealous the author was of the golden finger he gave to the protagonist. In addition, the miserable Du Diaosi said that facing the humanoid protagonist (?), his social barriers would come back...

A geek who stays at home and indulges in the world of the second dimension will basically have this attribute: social activities equal to or less than 1. They can chat happily online, act cute, show off their power, and tease others without any moral integrity, but in real life, they will become a magical creature who will stutter and blush when a girl asks for directions. Ethan Du is such a magical creature, and because of his ears, his social disorder is more serious than that of ordinary losers. The specific manifestation of this cute social disorder is: no mouth, heart, and expression, abbreviated as two nothings and one something (PS: adapted from the "no mouth, no heart, no expression" of three nothings), in other words, [emphasis line] stuffy [/emphasis line]---even if he roars a thousand times or ten thousand times in his heart, he will be completely dead to the outside world, and he can't hold back what he wants to say.

Now a certain silly reader who was having a seizure just stared at the protagonist with a straight face and expressionless face. Ethan Du was already crying in his heart. What should he say? The weather is good today? Young man, you have great skills? Hello protagonist, this is the reader who caused you to be abused and hunted?

Who can give him an opening line? He can save the world (which is about to be destroyed by the evil protagonist).

Ethan Du's miserable mood is hard to describe. He now has to please the cruel protagonist who tried to kill him twice. It is impossible to say that Ethan Du does not feel resentful, but... if he now says to the protagonist in a cold and noble manner, "Damn, I saved you, but you are repaying kindness with hatred?", then... nothing will happen. I can't afford to get hurt, dear! The protagonist on the opposite side is now extremely powerful! The blackening value is also infinite! Even though he was injured and almost shattered after being killed twice, he can only put on an expression of indifference now!

Come on, protagonist, when you are fully adorable, I will talk to you about life... Now I will hold back. =皿=

In addition, there is another reason why Ethan Du tries to build a good relationship with the protagonist. A stupid and cute guy wants to make plans for the future. He traveled to this world. At present, there is no sign or clue that can make him go back, so he will stay in this world for a long time. Since this is the world of "Mixed Blood", no one's thighs are as thick as the protagonist's. Ethan Du has analyzed that "Mixed Blood" is a world of high martial arts. If you want to stay with the protagonist to run the plot, you must pay attention to the high mortality rate. In YY novels, the safest person in the whole book is the protagonist. Others, whether enemies or the protagonist's little brothers, have a very high chance of being cannon fodder. But it is better than those passers-by who died without any sense of existence. After getting the title of "Brother of the Protagonist", although it may still not escape the fate of "death makes the protagonist explode", there will also be a higher chance that the protagonist will receive a branch line of "saving a good (useful) brother" and try to revive a good (useful) brother.

In fact, in YY novels, there is another creature that can stay with the protagonist safely, that is the heroine. Even if she dies, the protagonist will try to revive the dead girl in order to ensure the diversity of his harem. This point was selectively ignored by Ethan Du. In short, staying with the protagonist will not only have a good future, but also allow you to witness the 3D version of the "Mixed Blood" reality show, and you can also influence the protagonist to return to the original cute protagonist. Ethan Du remembered the goal of "saving the cute protagonist" set before, and instantly ignited, once again calming the frustration of being almost killed by the protagonist.

This child is hopeless.

Ethan Du looked at Nathan, his eyes flickering at Nathan's right hand, which was still made of bones. A voice in his heart whispered softly: In fact, the reason is not important. The most important thing is that this is his favorite novel "Half-Blood", and the person in front of him is his favorite protagonist, isn't it?

So here, in this world, he has an advantage that no one else has: "Mixed Blood" is a novel for readers; it is a prophecy for the world; but for the protagonist, it is a life, including all his feelings and experiences. The current protagonist is a hedgehog, who gets angry and shoots arrows at anyone he catches, and does AOE indiscriminately (PS: AOE is a group attack that does not distinguish between enemies and friends). He is completely unwilling and dare not trust others. You can't talk about feelings with the current protagonist, you can only talk about interests. Ethan Du decided to borrow from a story he had seen before, "Madman, Rooster and Man" (PS: You can Baidu it if you haven't heard of it). The blackened protagonist is a sick prince. Only when he says that he is also a madman who wants to destroy the world, the protagonist will listen to him.

I don't know if there will be a language barrier, but I'll give it a try anyway. Ethan Du put his hands on his earphones and spoke slowly and calmly: "I'll fulfill your wish."

That was a sentence he squeezed out after trying hard to break through his social barriers.

Ethan Du's voice had a slightly strange tone, and the sticky and soft nasal sound was like a pure piano piece with a cello accompaniment. Although it did not achieve the normal effect of the piece, it was not inconsistent or abrupt. It was a very magical feeling. Ethan Du knew that he was not speaking the Chinese language he was familiar with, but a language he had never seen before, but he knew its meaning and could speak it. Sure enough, time travelers don't have to worry about language problems at all. Whether facing ancient people or aliens, they can chat without pressure.

The dark blue in Nathan's pupils jumped, and he stared at Ethan Du without saying a word.

Ethan Du organized his words once again, coldly and stiffly showing Nathan the value of keeping him.

"I know the way to leave the Lost Land." Although I learned the method from you.

"I know a way to make you stronger." Although I learned the method from you.

Ethan Du said that this behavior of using the benefits that will belong to the protagonist in the future to seduce the protagonist... is really cool. Spoilers are really a god-like weapon. Are you still worried that your favorability will not be improved in the future? Nathan on the opposite side seemed a little shaken, but still looked at him hesitantly and cautiously. His value has been demonstrated, so now he has to expose his weaknesses to reassure the protagonist who has a strong desire for control.

"I don't know magic, I don't have any martial arts, my only special feature is resurrection." Facing the cold and taciturn undead lich, Ethan Du felt that he had nothing and became particularly talkative: "You can easily kill me."

Nathan no longer just stared at Ethan Du in silence. He finally spoke. His voice was very peculiarly hoarse, not like something a human could make, but it was not unpleasant to the ear.

"...your purpose?"

[See how the young cultivator awakens his bloodline, takes revenge, and finally sets out on the road to conquer the throne of God. ]

The copy of "Mixed Blood" once again appeared in Ethan Du's mind, but it never made his blood boil more than this time, and his heart beat so fast that it didn't seem like his own.

"I want to see you become a god."
